Just went to Hancock of Paducah to order fabric. Has been a while and I notice that all the prices are now 1/2 yard increments. Are all the fabric places going to be doing this? What other online stores are doing this? It is like going to the grocery store and buying your favorite products just to find out the price is the same but the packaging is smaller.

A number of shops that I have come across are now selling by the 1/2yd... so you have to check carefully or get sticker shock when you go to your shopping cart to check out :lol: :D:D:D

It's because a half yard is the smallest unit they sell. It's easier to get the shopping cart software to work right when you order whole units instead of partial units. They're not trying to decieve you, it's says "half yard" in big red letters on every fabric.

I love Hancocks of Paducah. Their customer service is great, fabric quality is great, range of products is also great. I just wish I didn't have to order either in 1/2 yard or full yard. I always increase my yardage requirements, but when I need 3/8 of a yard, I want more than 1/2 and less than 1 yard cuts. With HoP, I had to go the full yard...ah well, it was for a commission and the extra is mine...so I was forced (my story and I'm holding to it) to add to the stash on a year I promised to decrease the stash!!
